    Installed Easy Sign Up Plugin version Version 3.2 with WordPress 3.9.1

    All works well except the redirection URL is always the one specified in the plugin dashboard, NOT the one added in the shortcode.

    The shortcode is all on ONE line.
    [easy_sign_up title=”SIGN UP FOR WEIGHT LOSS UPDATES” fnln=”1″ phone=”0″ esu_label=”WEIGHT LOSS” esu_r_url=”greaterbostonhypnosis.com/positive-change/”]

    I have used the http:// and without as in above code, in the URL.
    BOTH take me to the home page, as set in the plugin dashboard.

    the webpage with Easy Plugin is: http://greaterbostonhypnosis.com/weight-loss/

    Hi charlieusa,
    I believe that when you copied and pasted the esu_r_url= into your post/page editor some of the formatting must have come with it.

    Have a look at the shortcode in the editor using text mode.

    Visual mode is the “What You See Is What You Get” view which is normally the default for most of us.

    You can change this by clicking on the Text tab at the top right of the editor window.

    Once you locate and remove the formatting everything should work for you.

    Cheers and thanks for using my plugin.

    Hi GreenWeb

    Thanks for a quick reply..

    I don’t see in the code where I need to change (or remove) some formating.

    Below is the copy from the TEXT tab of the code.
    Could you point out the unneccessary formating.

    [easy_sign_up title="SIGN UP FOR WEIGHT LOSS UPDATES” <abbr title=”Show First and Last Names”>fnln=”1″</abbr> phone=”0″ esu_label="WEIGHT LOSS" esu_class=”my-class-name” <abbr title=”Override the redirect”>esu_r_url=”<abbr title="Override the redirect">greaterbostonhypnosis.com/positive-change/</abbr>“</abbr>]

    ———————

    In the above code I would like the visitor to be redirected to the web page greaterbostonhypnosis.com/positive-change/
    and NOT the home page (as set in the easy signup dashboard.

    I could just change the dashboard setting… but then I could only use this plugin once on the site. I was expecting to take the visitor to a unique download pages, dependent on which easy signup they completed. (since I dont see the capability of sending unique confirmation emails dependent on the topic they where interested in).

    great plugin and thanks again for your assistance.

    This should do it:

    [easy_sign_up title=”SIGN UP FOR WEIGHT LOSS UPDATES” fnln=”1″ phone=”0″ esu_label=”WEIGHT LOSS” esu_class=”my-class-name” esu_r_url=”greaterbostonhypnosis.com/positive-change/”]

    Hi GreenWeb

    I now understand what you were telling me.. the code when entered with the visual page gets translated to the mess as posted in my previous post.

    I have Pasted the shortcode with TEXT editing (NOT the pasting in the visual editor) and the shortcode WORKs flawlessly !!!!

    Thanks for your help
